It started with the acquisition of two new Volvo excavators — and now East Midlands Demolition's equipment investment drive has expanded to include a pair of Pegson impactors and a complementary brace of screeners. The new equipment has been sourced from Blue Machinery, whose appointed distribution contract for the TEREX plant machines has seen it deliver all items within the past few weeks.
The TEREX Pegson impactors and their associated screening belts are part of a long term drive by East Midlands Demolition to increase its already notable recycling practices. The company has developed a unique way of fulfilling demolition contracts in a sustainable and eco friendly fashion, using the materials brought up by demolition either to create suitable future building material (such as foundation or recycled concrete); or to recycle in the normal fashion. Nowhere has this been more apparent than in EMD's award winning involvement with the Clipstone Colliery reclamation project, where as much as 96% of the old site structure has been reclaimed for continued use.
Using the second of the two Pegson impactors it has purchased (the first, a Trakpactor impact crusher, is primarily earmarked for East Midlands Demolition's limestone quarrying interests), EMD will be able to augment its materials reclamation programme, which currently turns around an average of 200,000 tonnes in construction and demolition waste every year. The second of the two impactors, an XR400 jaw crusher, is to be used in conjunction with one of the new screeners to sort out and recycle C&D waste on project sites.
East Midlands Demolition is currently producing good quantities of:
The addition of the new impactor and screening belt will make this process even more versatile and efficient. The materials that EMD reclaims from its demolition projects are readied for sale, passed onto other projects or left for the developers of demolished and prepared sites to use in their foundations and road infrastructures.
East Midlands Demolition has committed to an overall expansion that will see the company moving into a new purpose built premises by the end of 2011; and should also see it capitalise on its recent investments in staff and equipment during the same year. Its 10 year programme includes a second investment in staff, training and staff facilities during 2011; and a subsequent investment in more plant machinery.
As the company grows its order book grows with it. Future contracts are already looking extremely healthy, and with this new pair of impactors and screening belts the foundations are well in place for a future holding more recycling; more conscientious reclamation and development; and more award winning work.
